PROJECTS

Let's make a difference

Furthering our cause is the most important goal of our organization. We seek to support, empower, and provide high quality resources to our community in a safe and secure environment. Our success isn’t measured in terms of wealth or profit margin, but by the value we provide to those we serve.

DANCE PROJECT

For decades our IOP Dance Performance Workshop has been our most heavily booked project offering a highly engaging session designed to meet your community's specific needs, whether it be an intimate gathering or to engage the masses. 

 

We begin our session with an acknowledgement of country followed by an explanation of who we are and what we do, focusing on the importance of remembering the history of our First Nations people. Our artists will perform a captivating show for your audience then get them up to participate as a group in an interactive dance workshop. This project is ideal for:

Festivals

Community Events

Schools

Youth Groups

Corporate Engagements

Conferences

MUSIC VIDEO PROJECT

The Music Video Project is a creative process where your chosen group will be mentored to write, record and film their own video clip for presentation to their community. This is a project that gives them a voice to express what is prevalent for their communities at the time.

Our videos have been nominated and finalists of the National Indigenous Music Awards (NIMA's). Check out our winner of the NIMA's: 

IOP | Numbulwar, NT - Loud & Proud

IOP | Gunyangara, Yirrkala & Dhalinybuy, NT ft. Yirrmal - Sky Is The Limit

DANCE PROJECT - WEEK LONG INTENSIVE

We are connecting with more and more communities each year offering highly engaging and meticulously tailored workshops in our week long projects.

The aim of this project is to engage and encourage youth to step up, build confidence and grow towards leadership in their communities. The power of this project is profound, the effects can be seen by the end of the week in the community concert where the youth step up on stage to perform what they have learnt for their family and friends.

Our week long project can be documented leaving you with a video resource.

LOCAL HEROES PROJECT

Every community has local people on the ground making a difference. They deserve to be recognised and have their voices heard.

 

You will have in-depth consultation/s with our IOP Production Team before we come out to work with your community having the locals star in their very own documentary. This project focuses on the personal stories of chosen individuals or the community as a whole.
